The story so far...
Lynneguist moved to the south coast of England in January 2000, having lived in the US most of her life and in South Africa for 4 years in the 1990s. Here, she's met her Better Half (in 2002), made the shift from expat to dual citizen (2006) & become Mummy to daughter Grover (2007; yes, that’s a pseudonym) while teaching & researching in semantics, pragmatics and psycholinguistics.
*'Reader' is a UK academic title that has no exact North American counterpart; it's sort of between US 'Associate Professor' & 'Professor'. See my 30 Apr 08 post for more about academic titles
